Dear Mr. Santoro-I saw your post in the Chicago Writer’s Association. Would you be willing to broadcast my book, Halo of the Damned? It’s received multiple five star reviews. Probably a shot in the dark, but thought I’d ask. Thanks, Dina Rae

if you’re talking about our “Ten Terrifying Minutes” offer, sure. Just give us a good, clean recording of the first chapter — or ten minutes, whichever comes first — and we’ll put it on at the end of the show. You could probably use one or two of your ten minutes to tell us a bit about yourself and/or a bit about the book but that’s all you need. Send the MP3 file to talestoterrify@gmail.com and put Ten Minutes in the subject line.

It took me a long time to finally remember to add TtT to my podcatcher list; I had only been coming over to listen to an episode here, another there. I had noticed coming here often, but when the time came to refresh the podcatcher, I was oblivious again.

Now you are in your rightful place in the easy access to interesting listening list.

I quite enjoyed it, Larry. The acting was solid, the production value was good, good script, and I enjoyed the engagement with various images and concepts of the horror genre as a whole. Does it really subvert the tropes and cliches? Not necessarily, but I still think it works as a commentary on the genre, and as a film in its own right. What did you think?
